Meeting the Natives (Open to Defenders)
Sydney was obsessing about making sure things were, well not perfect, but at least in order. She made sure the main building got a good cleaning and the animals were kept outside. She had even spoken to the Defenders about Michael visiting and wanting them on their best behavior. Hopefully there wouldn't be any world threatening events or you know demons showing up on the front lawn again.

Syd liked Michael and didn't want the natives scaring him away.

She double checked everything again. Then she triple checked everything.

	"I'm glad," she said with a smile. "Would you like some tea or some coffee? We have a fresh batch of scones." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you, but the water's already hot and the scones are still warm." She offered a hand. "This way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes her hand -- raising it very briefly to his lips with old-fashioned politeness -- and follows quite happily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There may have been the slightest tiny giggle with the kiss to her hand, but there was a very wide smile on her face. "After tea, I can give you the tour of the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-20 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Syd smiled. "Please, have a seat and I'll get the tea and scones," she said when they entered the kitchen. "How's work?" She fetched two mugs from a cabinet and a teapot as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sits. "Thank you. Doing pretty well. The Swiss Franc's up more than is convenient for business at the moment, but it's probably on the way back down. Things have a habit of working out that way. How have things been around here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Surprisingly quiet," she said. "Save for Quinn's arrival. Which means we're due for something really big soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-02-20 05:23 am UTC (link)
	"And who is Quinn, exactly -- oh, this is good," he comments about the tea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dimensionally challenged sorcerer. Son of Captain Britain." She smiled. "Thanks. I'll pass it on to Sarah. She picks out the blends." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-02-20 05:32 am UTC (link)
	"Interesting." Michael smiled. "You know, in Strelsau, we saw, perhaps, an X-Man, once. And Dr. Doom for a diplomatic conference. America has so many more superheroes, even when they aren't American." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-20 05:37 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose we do. If you ever need the Defenders or Avengers to visit, I have connections." She smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-02-20 05:44 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "I'll make sure to keep that in mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-20 05:46 am UTC (link)
	"There has to be some perks to this job outside of zombie attacks and being banned from Disneyland." Syd pulled the scones out of the oven. They had been in there on low to keep warm. "Would you like some?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-02-20 06:21 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "I should think so." "Please. They smell delicious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-20 06:44 am UTC (link)
	"Sarah made them," Syd explained as she pulled out a plate and began placing some on it. She placed the plate on the table and then pulled out two smaller plates, one for each of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-02-20 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	And when things are available, he gives them a try. "Well, they're delicious. Please thank her for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-20 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I will. So you've met Zoey the Awesome and Marlow. We'll probably run into the others when we take the tour." Syd said as she slid into a chair. "The place is pretty big and it keeps us from running into each other all of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-02-20 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	"So much space for the whole household must be nice. And yes, Zoey was delightful and Marlow was very nice. I've certainly never met anyone from a Dark Dimension before." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hadn't either until I took this job. Or gods for that matter." Syd had to laugh a little. Just talking about her job and life lately seemed so absurd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace walked into the kitchen, her nose buried in a book. "I smell scones," she said, perking her head up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-21 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"Indeed you do. Help yourself. Grace, this is Michael Sapt, Michael is this Grace Danvers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-02-21 01:00 am UTC (link)
	Grace bookmarked her page, smiling at. "Hi Syd." She walked over to the counter and extended a hand. "Nice to meet you, Michael." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-02-21 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"Nice to meet you, Grace." He shook friendly like. "And certainly do help yourself, but I hope not too much; the scones are delicious." He smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
